Your bedroom ceiling is 10 feet high and is 2/3 as high as the living room ceiling. Write and solve an equation to find the height of the living room ceiling

Respuesta :

The height of living room ceiling is 15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of ceiling in bedroom = 10 feet

This is 2/3 height of living room ceiling.

Let,

x be the height of living room ceiling.

2/3 of x = 10

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x=10[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 3

[tex]3*\frac{2}{3}x=10*3\\2x=30[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{30}{2}\\x=15[/tex]

The height of living room ceiling is 15 feet.
